Friendly, professional, good communicators, sensitive

Our family have been dealing with SMR now for a number of years. They have helped us set up wills (at least 5 times), enduring powers of attorney, a trust, will executors and my latest experience with them, conveyancing.

I really can't speak too highly of them, we have dealt with the Selsey and Bognor branches and received the same level of service.

Special shout out for Caroline and Emma but everyone has been top class.

So Easy. Nothing was too much trouble.

We did our Wills using SMR as an appointed solicitors under the Free Wills scheme. After a quick telephone call to the Selsey office, Charlotte Slingo came out to our house to give us superb advice as we both had step children and other complications with our family life. She went through all we needed to know step by step explaining anything we were not sure of. Within one week she came back with our Draft Wills for approval. We received our copies the following week when the whole process was completed. Although something difficult to face, Charlotte made the process so easy and with kindness. Would recommend her for her diligence and kindness. Mr and Mrs Mahon

Fantastic Service from SMR Selsey

We have used SMR Selsey a few times and have always been happy with their service. This time we had Carol Laurence dealing with our sale. She was fantastic! Everything you would want in a solicitor, professional, approachable, reliable and she delivers. So pleased we chose SMR, thank you Carol

Lizzie Spraggs has been absolutely amazing

Lizzie Spraggs has been absolutely amazing in what was a very tricky sale. She held our hands through a most stressful and difficult time. She was professional at all times, keeping us informed every step of the way, and incredibly patient when things got tough and we were feeling anxious. I would highly recommend SMR Solicitor's and cannot thank the whole team there for looking after us so impeccably.

AMAZING!

Bernadette at SMR was absolutely amazing. From the outset she was really clear on the process, and made the legal challenge of moving house so much easier. The costs came in exactly as expected, even when the process got tricky towards the end, with complications from our buyer. Bernadette was never phased, completely professional, using plain language rather than legal jargon, and got us our dream home! Would definitely recommend her services to all.

Conveyancing recommendation

SMR were a huge help. We were selling due to probate. They were absolutely fantastic with helping us with the paperwork & patiently walking us all through the process. We would strongly recommend this company. Thank you!
